In our life, we often eat rice other than white rice, one is blood glutinous rice and the other is purple rice. When we look outside, ordinary people often can't tell the difference. But some people say that these two kinds of rice are more nutritious than rice. Why is this? In fact, in traditional Chinese medicine, five colors enter the five internal organs, that is, different colors can have different effects on various organs of the body, such as: black enters the kidney, yellow enters the spleen, white enters the lung, cyan enters the liver, and red enters the blood, nourishing the heart and helping to replenish blood and produce fluid. Today, I will talk about the difference between these three kinds of rice, so it is also glutinous rice. Why is there such a big difference between different colors? What does the color of food represent?

1, blood glutinous rice

Blood glutinous rice is also called black glutinous rice, and there is also a domineering name called "Black Pearl". The nutritional value is high. Chinese medicine believes that black food can tonify kidney and nourish blood. Besides protein, fat and carbohydrates, black glutinous rice is also rich in calcium, phosphorus, iron and vitamins B 1 and B2. Black glutinous rice has remarkable effects of enriching blood and benefiting qi, and is rich in iron. Long-term consumption can improve the symptoms of blood deficiency, especially for pregnant women with weak constitution.

2. Purple rice

Purple rice and black rice are similar in color but belong to two kinds of rice. Both of them belong to glutinous rice, but their nutritional components and effects are different. It is an internationally popular "healthy food" in recent years. People with weak digestive ability after illness can eat purple rice first, and then eat black rice, which is easy to absorb. Purple rice can replenish blood and qi, warm the spleen and stomach, and is suitable for stomach cold and pain, thirst quenching, nocturia and neurasthenia.
